About us

Today, there are a gazillion courses yet most students find it difficult to get ‘practical’ insights into preferred areas & ‘practical’ support to make career choices. They want hands-on learning & experiential content but courses today are more descriptive than realistic, more theoretical than practical. That’s when SkillsOn took shape - a one-stop platform for handcrafted first-of-its-kind 100% authentic, industry-led modules, a platform for everything practical, everything immersive.

    The world of venture capital has always intrigued me, with headlines like "TPG leads $150 million round in edtech firm Eruditus" capturing attention. However, understanding what goes on behind the scenes remained a mystery. Among various fellowships and scout programs, the one offered by SkillsOn truly stood out. This comprehensive course covered everything from basic terminology to the intricacies of finalizing investments, reading MIS reports, and understanding the fundamentals of due diligence. The experience was not only educational but also enjoyable, spanning several months and providing significant networking opportunities. Thank you Siddhant Gupta for your insightful sessions over the last few months! (PS: Views are personal and not binding) #VC #VentureCapital #SkillsOn #DueDiligence

    “How do I search for available internships and jobs in venture capital, private equity, investment banking and any other finance domain?” It’s all out there across many platforms but just the mere effort of searching and navigating from one site to another makes the opportunity inaccessible. Further, even if you happen to spot the right opportunity, there’s always, “Ok, now how do I go about the application?” We got on to solving this at SkillsOn and here’s what we’ve got for you – our signature FinDirectory, a one-stop coverage of open finance roles coupled with lifelong application support and mentoring. If you’re interested, drop your email in the comments and I will get back with the details. #jobs #internships #finance

    "How did a small coffee thela in Rajouri Gardens rise up to take on the global coffee giant, Starbucks?" It's interesting how there's so much happening in so many different parts of our country. Here's one such case, a story not many know of, a story of passion, taste, ambition and smart brand play, the story of Sardarbuksh Coffee & Co. Join us for our 5th Masterclass: The VC Diligence this Saturday, Sept 14 @ 5pm at India's first Venture Capital School by SkillsOn as we deep-dive into this engaging case. Book your seat using the link in comments. PS: The batch for tomorrow is nearly full with a few seats left but we will open up more seats for subsequent sessions. #management #careers #stories

    Speaking to new founders and listening to new ideas is always enriching. However, India being a magnanimous country, there are many stories we know of only in hindsight. And they throw up a bucket full of learnings. Excited to learn about the story of Sardarbuksh Coffee & Co in the upcoming masterclass at India's 1st Venture Capital School by SkillsOn.

    Throughout my investments career, I’ve been asked, “Why do you guys conduct an extensive due diligence of start-ups despite their audit reports and compliances coming out clean?” Quite interestingly, compliance has little to do with financial integrity. One can cook up the numbers, yet keep the compliances clean. Revenue can be overstated, costs can be suppressed, but as long as taxes are paid on these overstated profits, compliance is in order. And audit may not catch it. Auditors are bound by scope and not liable to conduct detailed investigations. After all, auditors are watchdogs, not bloodhounds. Back in the winter of 2022, this is what transpired at GoMechanic, a company that until then was living the ideal start-up dream. Great industry, cool idea, pedigreed founders and strong investors. But what happened next? Join us this Saturday @ 5pm as we delve into the GoMechanic story in our 5th Module: The Diligence at India's first venture capital school by SkillsOn.

    Several young professionals today are aspiring a career in venture capital (VC) investments. However, not many are aware of its intricacies - what does an investment role really mean? typical day at a VC firm? road ahead? That’s when we launched India’s first venture capital school at SkillsOn, initially targeting to onboard 10-20 folks and test our hypothesis. Fast forward 2 weeks >> hypothesis worked >> content worked >> presentation worked >> worked way better than we imagined as our school received 10x the targeted registrations. SkillsOn started as a passion project but now we believe it can be taken to the whole of India and certainly beyond as well. With fresh, industry-led, first-of-a-kind courses, projects and internships. Just like the VC school. At this exciting juncture, we’re opening up a marquee job opportunity, we’re looking to onboard 2 interns in the Founders Office at SkillsOn. Job description: Everything growth, everything constructive, everything critical. In simpler words, you will work with me directly to spearhead SkillsOn’s growth – building awareness, growing reach, designing new products, managing existing students, running existing courses, everything! A complete hands-on role, from day 0. Pay: Better (much better) than industry standards. For sure, you will be able to party hard (even in Mumbai😉). Location: Mumbai, a hands-on role is best performed when in office. Hybrid? umm .... can think. Joining: Immediate, why procrastinate on growth. CV tip: Avoid the usual boring format, “Academics, Work-Ex, Extra-Curriculars”. Bring these out in a nice, unique way. Interview tip: Just be clear about your favourite coffee. We’ll try to arrange that for you. Dressing tip: No FORMALities here!😊 If interested, share your CV on siddhant@skillson.in. Also, do drop a comment for interested folks in your network. #jobs #internships #career

    Last week, we, at India’s first venture capital school by SkillsOn, conducted our third module “The Venture Capital Engine” with a fresh, never-before attempted presentation style. We went through a sample pitch deck step-by-step taking notes along with the attendees.   The result? We understood exactly how India’s leading funds evaluate sectors and companies, we understood exactly how India’s leading funds conduct research beyond Google to get high-quality inputs, how they draw razor-sharp conclusions and decipher hidden stories in company financials. All with the backdrop of a real-world case. And yes, expanded on our signature Alpha Doc that speaks of valuation multiples. The session received much appreciation not only for the content but also for the way it was taught. In case you missed attending, you can still join us, we will make the earlier recordings available to you. More in comments. This weekend we march on to understanding something very important yet the least discussed - Term Sheets. What are they, how do they look, the terms, the jargons and, drafting a power term sheet.

  • After a power-packed session on Venture Basics, we moved on to the second module of the VC masterclass this weekend, at India's 1st venture capital school. We set the ground running with a thorough overview of the deal flow - stages, steps, skills and a real-world case. And as with every module of ours, a signature offering - this time it was the "Alpha Doc" - a one-stop guide to set valuation multiples for companies. More on the Alpha Doc in our upcoming module, “The Engine” this August. Here, we will discuss how India’s leading funds evaluate sectors and companies, covering every aspect in thorough detail – conducting research beyond Google, getting high-quality inputs, putting them together for drawing razor-sharp conclusions and deciphering hidden stories in company financials. All with the backdrop of a real-world case to build 100% practical understanding. This will be the heart of the VC masterclass series. If you’re eager to explore the world of start-ups, looking to build a career in investments, planning to raise funds for your venture or simply enthusiastic about this space, this is the session for you. #startups #venturecapital #entrepreneurship #careers Link in comments.
